Federal investigators are questioning a Jewish activist about the 1985 murder of an Arab-American leader. Jewish Defense League activist Earl Krugel, who pled guilty last year for his role in a plot to bomb a California mosque and the office of Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), has not been forthcoming about a possible link to the murder of Alex Odeh, Western regional director of the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, according to The Desert Sun newspaper.
